PART 3: Paragraph

Go back and find all the pieces of the paragraph. Then put them together to create a coherent and logical paragraph. Remember, the first line of a paragraph is indented. DO NOT label each section (I do not want to see the word "Claim" , "Rule", "Warrant", "Analysis" anywhere in the paragraph.


All you have to do is copy and paste each section and put them in order. To copy and past hold down "control" and "P". Then hold down "control" and "v" to paste.

This section is worth 15 points.

Match the pieces of a claim to their correct definition
WHY
The author, poet, musican, aka person who made the thing you are analyzing!
HOW
The name of the book, poem, movie, song you are analyzing
WHO
The tools or devices the person used to manipulate the reader or viewer
WHAT
The big idea or argument. This should relate to a literary lens (race, class, political/cultrual history, gender, sexuality).
EVIDENCE: Which of the following would be the BEST piece of evidence for this paragraph?
The image displays ties that feature sporting, music, and men's clubs.
The image displays a man with his hands folded behind his head
The image displays a woman kneeling below a man and looking up at him.
RULE/WARRANT: Remember, a rule or a warrant should not be about the image or text you are analyzing. It shold be a general truth or definition.

A Rule/Warrant should be something MOST people agree with. If you see a rule/warrant that you do not agree with, that is NOT a good warrant or rule.
Typically, kneeling before someone shows you are obedient, submissive, or have less power than the person you are kneeling before. Kneeling before a king is a common example of showing you have less power and are subject to that king.
Often, putting your hands behind your head means you have control of everything around you. A common example is when people win fights on the street, they put their hands behind their heads to show that they won.
Usually, sports and music are considered more powerful and things that feminine appetites crave should listen to. For example, whenever you see that a sports game is on, you should not change it.
ANALYSIS: This shold connect the rule/warrant to your claim.
Therefore, since the man is folding his hands behind his head, we can assume he won the fight. It is also worth noting that ties appear all over the advertisement and the word Van Huesan is the largest font on the screen. The large text of Van Heusan and the man's folding of his hands show that women are less powerful and should serve men.
Therefore, since the woman is clearly kneeling before the man as well as looking up to him, we can assume Van Heusan assumes men have more power. It is also worth noting that the woman is serving the man food and the caption "show her it's a man's world" lies directly above the man. Van Heusan is clearly trying to appeal to men, by telling them women are less powerful and exist to serve men in order to sell their ties.
